WARREN REPORT PUBLISHED 49 YEARS AGO TODAY

September 27, 2013

WARREN REPORT PUBLISHED 49 YEARS AGO TODAY

Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) The Warren Report, the conclusions of The President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, was published 49 years ago today,  September 27, 1964.

The commission, chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren of California, included Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA), John Sherman Cooper (R-Kentucky), Hale Boggs (D-Louisiana), Gerald R. Ford (R-Michigan), Allen Dulles (former CIA director), & John J. McCloy (former president of the World Bank).

The FBI submitted its own report on the assassination less than 3 weeks after the tragedy (Dec 9, 1963) and the FBI report was used as the Commission's primary source.

Like the Commission, the FBI concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin and that there was no evidence of conspiracy, but unlike the Warren Report, the FBI found that of the 3 shots fired at the motorcade, one hit Governor John B. Connally* and the other two hit President Kennedy.  

*John Connally, who survived, testified before the Warren Commission that he heard the 1st shot & was in the process of turning to see JFK when he was hit by the 2nd shot.

According to The Warren Report, however, one of three shots missed completely, one hit JFK in the head from the rear, and the other hit both JFK and the Governor.

The Zapruder Film, the home movie of the assassination sequence taken by Abraham Zapruder, led the Commission to devise the "single bullet theory" because the film provided evidence that JFK & Connally were hit in less time than it would take a lone gunman to reload the rifle identified with the shooting.**

**The Manlicher-Carcano bolt action rifle alleged to be the murder weapon required a minimum of 2.3 seconds to recycle.  The Zapruder film showed that the shots hitting JFK and Connally were 1.6 seconds apart.

The Warren Commission concluded that one shot missed, one shot hit JFK  at the base of the back of the neck and then passed through his throat and hit Gov. Connally, while a 3rd shot, fired from behind, hit JFK in the head.

Even the FBI questioned the Warren Report.  
Less than a week after the report was published, the FBI informed the White House that...

"The Commission's report is seriously inaccurate (in) its treatment of the FBI..."

Following is one the first postings on The Warren Report by JFK ASSASSINATION:

The Warren Commission claimed JFK was first struck by a bullet that...

 "entered at the back of his neck and exited through the lower front portion of his neck, causing a wound which would not necessarily have been lethal."

The Report published this diagram to illustrate their "findings".


               Warren Commission Exhibit

Was the entrance wound in the back of the neck?

NO! 

Thus, both the Commission's description & sketch (above) are false. 

The diagram shows the wound "at the back of the neck" not where it really was (in the upper back). 

WHY?

Let's discuss briefly how we know the bullet entrance wound was in the upper back 5 1/2" below the collar. 

First: 

JFK's coat & shirt have holes at this position.

The fibers of both show the bullet entered the outside of the fabric thus proving this shot was fired from the rear.

Second: 

Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, who ran to JFK's car on Elm Street and later testified before the Warren Commission, was asked...

"Did you see any other wound other than the head wound?" 

Agent Hill responded...


 "Yes, sir; I saw an opening in the back, about 6 inches below the neckline to the right-hand side of the spinal column."
  
Third:

The autopsy conducted by surgeons at the United States Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, showed JFK was shot in the back at the level of the "third thoracic vertebrae".  

The autopsy report diagram (below), also published in the Warren Report, shows the location of this wound as being in the upper back, not the neck.

CONCLUSION:

It is obvious the Commission ignored the evidence provided by FBI exhibits, Clint Hill's testimony & the official autopsy report & instead created their own evidence.  

WHY?

Gerald Ford, a member of the Warren Commission & later President of the United States, admitted before his death that he had changed the location of this wound in the report. 

The FBI report said... "a bullet...entered (JFK's) back at a point slightly above the shoulder"  but Mr. Ford suggested the wording be changed to...

"a bullet...entered the back of the neck at a point slightly to the right of the spine."  

WHY?

JFK was admitted to Parkland Hospital with a wound in the throat.  All the doctors who saw this wound believed it to be a wound of ENTRY.   

If this was indeed a wound of entry, a single shooter firing from the Depository could NOT have fired it. 

The Warren Commission wanted to convince us that there was only one assassin, so they turned this "entry" wound into an "EXIT".

So the Commission created "The Single Bullet Theory"... one bullet entered the back of JFK's neck exited the throat just above the Adam's Apple &  proceeded to cause ALL the wounds suffered by Governor Connally. 


JFK ASSASSINATION OPINION

The evidence is clear, JFK's back wound & throat wound DO NOT link up.  

A bullet fired from the 6th floor of the TSBD downward & entering JFK's back 5 to 6 inches below the collar could NOT then go UPWARD to exit from the front of the throat.  

(Note:  Autopsy surgeons attempted to "probe" the back wound but could not find a pathway more than 1 inch into JFK's back.)
